As a fresh grad. when I joined CDC design Verification (DV) , team used to have a great, merit based culture where technical decision were driven by logic and data.
Recently, a leadership change at the top for DV ruined this dynamic. The top lead lacks a technical verif. background, makes unilateral decisions, and pushes aggressive deadlines just for his upper visibility and no techincal contribution for him.
We went from a collaborative team to a strict "no questions asked" environment.
Feeling highly demotivated and could sense the same with my peers and leads.
need advise - is it worth speaking about this to the lead? is this kind of one man pushing his view normal across Qualcomm or is it a major red flag and i should start looking outside QCOM?

Not worth talking to lead
You need to find another team or company
Based on my past experience with this SOC team, you should address this with his leads. I moved out of QCOM. Realistically, though, leadership is likely fully aware of this attitude and choosing to ignore it. They will probably sweep this under the rug, and it wouldn't be surprising if they actually reward him instead. Welcome to management 101
Oi bruv Moo innit
Qualcommers need milkies
@OP sorry to hear that, you should start looking , because the person you're describing is the exact person who would get you laid off as soon as you "puncture" his ego.
Or just switch to another team.
Cry more , cuz what you described is how the corporate world works
